Has anyone ever used this to clean fruits and vegetables?

I have used it diluted to rinse off apples. This info is from Healthy Home Products, that sells Dr. Bronners "Believe it or not, Dr. Bronner's Castile Soap can also be used as fruit and vegetable wash. Mix a quarter teaspoon of it in a sink full of water. Wash residue in fruits and veggies off using the solution, then rinse well before cooking or refrigerating."

That's what I use it for! Works great and cleans pretty easily if you rinse it off right away. Very sharp so get something to keep vegetables from sliding around on your cutting board so you don't have to hold it with your fingers.

Most of the times I will use the veggie washer alone--perhaps with an extra plain water rinse being used on coarser materials. With something like carrots I'll scrub them up a bit, then into the wash they go. Seems to do a great job!

I've juiced greens, apples, grapes, melons (honeydew and cantaloupe, maybe watermelon), citrus, beets, sweet potatoes, jalapeno peppers (for a sauce), radishes, ginger, various herbs, etc. It does really well with all of that stuff, but with juicier stuff like melons and grapes you do tend to lose a little more liquid. I usually feed the pulp through the chute one more time if it feels wet. I've found that starting with something dryer like greens or carrots makes the juicier stuff juice a little cleaner. In any event, I highly recommend this item :-)

Yes this juicer does great with all kinds of fruits and veggies. We have had its for over 4 years now and have daily put everything in it from strawberries and watermelon to celery, cucumbers, kale and spinach. I have even made almonds milk with it. It juices carrots, sweet potatoes and bets with ease. I only suggest that if you do root veggies to cut them up thin to save wear and tear on the motor.

I have not tried that, but I would think so. I actually did use it on apples for my dehydrator.

It does a better job than any other juicer I have tried. It works the best with veggies and fruits but I also use it to juice berries. Any soft fruits like mango and berries should be run through the juicer two or three times to get the maximum juice out. I save the soft fruit pulp and run it through at least 3 times as I have found this gets the best juice yield. I have seen other people use a hydrolic press to get the remaining juice out of the pulp if they don't want to run it through the juicer again.

No, I haven't...I have used it primarily in smoothies and oatmeal and love it for it's taste and ease of use in recipes.

Hello Jennifer, I've used it on everything from tomatoes to kiwi fruit and vegetables. On oranges it doesn't do enough in a single pass so you will have to do it twice. Much easier to use a knife. An excellent peeler but be careful of your fingers as it is easy to cut a finger if you are a bit careles. If you are like me, you will only do that once though. Well worth owning one. I bought a few and handed them around to all my family members. Regards, Peter

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

No, but I have used it for about anything else imaginable in the kitchen. I don't know how I ever got along without this tool. I have two and I carefully wash them by hand immediately after use because I never want to damage them or be without them. I treat them with the care I give my most highly priced/prized kitchen tools because I respect the design and quality so much. I made a carrot cake yesterday. This was the tool. Fantastic. Easy to manage. Does the job with less effort. Honest.

the only problem ive had with this juicer is that it doesnt handle pineapple very well. it does great with all other fruits and veggies (even leafy veggies). ive had it for 3 months and it works great. no problems with the attachments or with the motor. easy to clean. mine came with a 12 yr warranty so i feel pretty confident about it working in the future.

Its better for fruits and vegetables because the mesh provides better and quicker rinsing, cleaning and draining. Its also easier to clean after use.

I have had mine for almost a year. I use it every day on multiple kinds of veg. It works very well for most vegetables (I have never tried with asparagus), although I find that unless enough water is used, celery, apples, and carrots can be quite gritty. It may be slightly louder than my blender, but it works fast, so you don't have to listen to the horrible noise for as long :)

Yes it can peel all kinds of fruits and vegetables. It is not as comfortable on apples and fruits as it is with larger or straight vegetables like carrots, butternut squash ect.

yes this works well for most fruits. For harder veggies i steam longer but it still mashes very well. I recommend it.

I have not tried that yet. I have been using it for green smoothies, which it does fairly well. A few small chunks here and there
